Re: update field based on substring of numeric field

Now just wait for YOU, Darren, to get blasted for asking for civility, 
for dealing in principals, not personalities.

The only real moderator of these lists is David - I believe that the 
rest of us have no business, IMNSHO (NS stands for "not so"), trying to 
instruct or chastise others on how we post things - helpful suggestions 
like the infamous "how to ask questions in news groups" are there to 
help each other.

And there I go maybe doing just that - instructing or chastising. I hope 
not, but enough said.

We all have egos - I have one somewhere, oh yeah, right handy in my 
pocket protector!

Cheers to all!
Vern
